Do not trust the BBC

BBC news item about Iran today:

The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (Hrana) says it has so far confirmed the killing of at least 6,159 people since the unrest began, including 5,804 protesters, 92 children and 214 people affiliated with the government. It is also investigating 17,000 more reported deaths.

Skylar Thompson, from Hrana, told the BBC the confirmed number of dead was very likely to rise.

"We are really committed to ensuring that every single piece of verified information that we report on sits next to a name and a location," she added.

The Human Rights Activists News Agency (Hrana) is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a CIA front organisation. The CIA is trying to achieve regime change in Iran. Hrana is presumably lying. That's what it's for.

The BBC should not repeat Hrana's 'information' but it does so without mentioning the CIA connection, something the Beeb knows about or should know about.

Someone in the BBC should be fired for this but won't be.
